Trying a new method to spice up some of our meals. A pill storage system bought off of Amazon and filled with our favorite go-to spices. Labeled with tape.

Great idea, you must be a good cook with all those spices.

I won't travel without a compliment of spices. I use the GSI Spice Rack.

I have always had problems with moisture with any "camping" salt and pepper shakers. So I opt for nalgene travel bottles. I carry salt and pepper in the small, round bottles. I give up the "shaker" part with no holes to limit flow but...if you like pepper the way I do, you are taking the top off the shaker and using the 'steady-hand' technique already.

And I carry Tony Chachere's creole seasoning and a sugar/cinnamon mix in the larger rectangular bottles. I use Tony's to add some wang to my shore lunch and the sugar/cinnamon for fry bread.

I use the squirt bottles for syrup and oil. One bottle holds enough syrup for 2 pancake meals for 4 people...as long as no one is trying to float the pancakes. I use the oil as my clean oil...otherwise known as oil with no fish batter in it. And it holds enough oil to squirt in the skillet when it needs it.

I always carry spices. I use empty plastic film containers. I store them in a nylon case made for CDs. I throw away the cd holder thing and just line up the little cannisters in the case. Works pretty well. Backpacking I would just throw them in a Ziploc.

I have encountered the same issue with moisture. I have tried about a half dozen different spice containers until I finally settled on a Nalgene bottles as well. Specifically, these 2 fluid ounce ones: 2 fluid ounce Nalgene bottles


Now I have about a dozen of these with various spices in 'em and pack which ever spice I want to suit the meals I am bringing. Since switching to these, I haven't had any issues with moisture. The salt hasn't once clumped up. Just gotta warn anyone using them that they are not a shaker.

I've found that adding a few grains of minute rice takes care of this problem.
